An excellent little 'zine by Eve Goldberg and Linda Evans from 1998. This one's available from AK Press and is thankfully fairly widespread, at least amongst the underground circuits of This Great Nation. Published by Agit Press as part of the Prison Activist Resource Center pamphlet series, contact parc@prisonactivist.org for more information

My friend's 'zines they made before hitching around the country last year. Rewrite the Pages by Emma Rose touches on alternative media, breastfeeding, patriarchy, natural health care and much more, all interwoven in Emma's unique poetic voice, straight out of Olympia.

Rafael Dwan's Question/Exclamation is an amalgum of political poetry, curbside philosophy and dumpstered ethics. In brevity Raf has found his calling, some of these short pieces pack a hefty punch. Again, Olympia shines through this work, one can almost taste the rain, smell the coffee and feel the soaked bones and cigarettes it took to write these words.

welcome to the olympia 'zine library! we're just getting this blog started but eventually we will have reviews, pictures, online and tangible resources and many other tools for the 'zine reader. Please check out Zinelibrary.net for our alternative and much more developed online presence.

Our sister site is the really kick ass one where all the zines are located, we're just a humble blog and a bit of a routing site. Visit her at:
